<p>Hey, would anyone be interested in giving some first impressions on the output of a new version of tokei? I want to know if the information shown is being conveyed correctly. For context tokei counts your files showing you how many code, comments, etc you have in a certain language. I've linked below how it currently looks and the new output. I would love to know what people think the new output means.</p>

<p>Markdown should be at the end if it's going to be split out like that</p>

<p>but what would be better is if <code>Lang (in markdown)</code> was sorted with the lang, so Rust is shown on one line and then Rust (in markdown) is the next line</p>

<p>Does this also detect "Markdown (in Rust)"?</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="219696">@XAMPPRocky</span> My first interpretation was that the <code>&gt; Rust</code> line is the number of lines of Rust code embedded in a markdown block tagged as <code>rust</code>.</p>

<p>Which then makes me wonder about the number of lines of Markdown code embedded in a Rust source file.</p>

<p>I'm also wondering what it means for markdown to have "comments".</p>

<p>I also found "subtotal" a little confusing.</p>

<p>(<em>Very</em> minor nit: s/BASH/Shell (bash)/ perhaps?)</p>

<p>Thank you everyone for their feedback.</p>
<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="239881">@Josh Triplett</span> Well your impression is correct, that’s what’s happening here. We’ll see about Markdown in Rust, it’s definitely possible to count the markdown in Rust, though I’m unsure how to display that, as there’s real recursion where there’s Rust in Markdown in Rust.</p>
<p>On the bash nit, it’s not actually counting Bash here it’s counting Shell as in the <code>.sh</code> language.</p>

<p>For “what it means for markdown to have comments”, essentially it means that the text is human documentation and not machine readable code (of course markdown is also that but a line has to be drawn somewhere).</p>
